Multi Gigabit wireless links using millimeter or sub millimeter waves have become of interest to replace wired connections within devices. In order to develop and simulate the corresponding systems, propagation and channel models for intra-device environments are required. This paper describes first results from measurement campaigns carried out at 60 GHz and 300 GHz in such environments. In a first step reflection and transmission properties of typical plastic materials used within devices have been measured and modeled using the Transfer Matrix Method. In a second step propagation characteristics in wave-guide like structures have been measured and modeled using ray tracing.
